tHe improvidence- of some mbw
of literary tastes
Coiii parothcly Text Examples or ltfcSt
lens Uxpomllttiro Among tho Anlliorj
of Modern Times Kngllnti Writers rtml
Onr Own Literary Slen
Coming down tomoro recent times wollnd
among tho modern men ot genius compara
tively fow examples of real Improvidence
Mgh Hunt is usunlly comldoml as ono of
this class for ho was poor all his llfo and nl
ways In debt and at ono timo considered not
overscrupulous in payment William Ilazlltt
lived all his llfo from hand to mouth and
would never vrrito an nrtlclo or do nny kind
of literary work as long as ho had n guinea in
his purse Gentle Kit North was another
man who hail llttlo regard for monoy Ho
liqver looked at or touched monoy in tho
usual May No ono for its own fcako or for
his own purposes over regarded riches with
fucIi perfect indllfcrcneo
Byron who was horn to debts and an in
cumbered cstato had n lords scorn of earning
mohoy Thoro wcro rllno executions in his
house during his brief married life and ho in
dignantly sent back n chock to his publishers
nt tho very tlmo when tho ofllccrs wcro pro
riding over his establishment
Carlylo was too canny n Scotchman not to
know how to tako caro of himself although
ho was miserably poorin tho early days Ho
carried tho economics of his youth a llttlo
boyond tho tlmo thoy wcro necessary and
mado it eomowhat harder for Sirs Carlylo
than thoro woa need of all tho way
through much to his own regret nfter hor
djatk Lord Tennyson has never disdained
to tnako monoy from his work indeed ho hag
teemed extremely anxious to do so and has
Kceocded oven beyond hl hopes Ho has
probably received the largest prices for liter
ary work of any inan living and ho has caro
fully husbanded his gains
Thomas do Qulnccy w as a man almost do
void of financial knowledgo ct ability of any
kind Ho almost starved In tho streets of
London when young although his f athor was
n wealthy man Later In llfo ho so misman
aged monoy and was so conscious of It him
self that ho gavu up all management of his
expenses to a daughter then but a young
girl after which hLsalTalrsworokeplin better
order Walter Scotts pecuniary troubles
havobecomo historical but thoy may per
haps bo attributed as much to rotsfortuno as
to incompetency Cliarlcs Lamb although
overgenerous could not w called improvi
dent By his own unaided exertion ho cored
for himself and allllctcd sister through life
and oven mado provision for Mary after his
death
Macaulay was a prudent although a gen
erous man Ho amassed a considerable for
tune although ho cared for his entire family
for a largo portion of his life and was very
open to calls upon his resources from tlioso
who had no iwrticular claim upon htm
Wordsworth was a man prudent oven to par
simony standing almost nlouo among tho
records ot genius in this respect In tho early
part of tho poems llfo potty economics had
been absolutely necessary and he hod ac
quired such n habit of practicing Uhcm that
ho could not drop them when thoy coasod to
bo necessary as is so often tho caso with
other peoplo bosldo poets Unlike Words
worth lii this respect was Sydnoy Smith ho
practiced closo economy whllo it was needful
but spent bis money very liberally though
always wisely after hooocamo rich
Douglas Jcrrold was a man very liberal
of his monoy when ho had any Tom Hood
was always poor and always sick yet ho was
possessed of a sturdy independence which re
fused tho assistance- of friends though ten
dered over so delicately and of a generous
heart which gavo to others oven out of his
pittance
Charles Dickens was n keen business man
almost too keen it was thought In his
later years It was known at tho time to
himself as well as to his frionda that ho was
seriously injuring his health by his reading
tours yet it seemed almost imposslblo for him
to give them up as long as thoy wore bo im
mensely profitable Thackeray was a man
who combined prudonco with generosity and
who skilfully managed all Ids business affairs
and yot ho was open handed to his needy
friends HosmcdforhU daughters a very
comfortahlo fortuno out of his literary gains
Our own literary men of noto if wo except
Poo havo all been mon of thrift mid practi
cal senso in business affairs Washington
Irving cared for himself and a largo family
of sisters out of his literary profits and loVn
moderqto fortuno besides Bryant saved
quite a fortuno for Ids time and as esteemed
a shrowd business man Emerson bad tho
Yankee good sonso and economy and though
ho ldtchod his wagon to n star nover lost
his hold on mundano things Longfellow was
a good man of business and in his latter years
was rcputAl wealthy Even Whlttlcr who
gavo so much tlmo and strength unselfishly
to tho nntl slavcry reform has always been
well-to-do andhas nono of n poets disregard
for worldly affairs Prawott and Motloy and
Bancroft woro all shrowd men of airalrs as
aro Lowell and Dr nolmcs Mark Twain
has a genius for monoy making and Hon ells
and Aldrlch nro prosperous men Mr Alcott
tho philosopher U our only visionary of tho
old school I tbmk unless wo should mention
Thoreau In that connection Hawthonio was
poor and had no lovo for tho task of monoy
getting yet ho could not bo called improvi
dent or dovold of goal senso in financial
affairs Altogether tho modern man of
genius may bo trusted to tako caro of himself
and seoms to succeed in worldly matters qulto
